   ROLLS-ROYCE SUPPLIES GAS TURBINES TO NIGERIAN OFFSHORE FIELDS WITH $150M    
                             CONTRACTS FROM TOTAL                              

Rolls-Royce will deliver a further eight RB211 industrial gas turbines for
Nigeria's offshore oil and gas fields this year as part of contracts worth $150
million from TOTAL.

These units, for a Floating Production, Storage and Offloading (FPSO) vessel in
the Usan field and a fixed offshore platform in the Ofon field, bring the total
number of RB211s ordered by TOTAL for offshore Nigeria to 19.

Six of the RB211 gas turbine packages will be electrical generating sets, three
for each field, to provide up to 160MW of electrical power for the new
installations. All of the packages will also feature exhaust mounted waste heat
recovery units.

The remaining two sets will be gas compression packages to export gas to
another facility or to re-inject gas into the oil field to enhance oil recovery
in the Usan field.

Tom Curley, President of the Rolls-Royce energy business, said: "We are
expanding our offshore presence in Nigeria with TOTAL through the RB211, which
has established itself as a world leader for operation on platforms and FPSOs.
There are now over 250 RB211s in worldwide offshore operation."

The new Usan oil field , 100 kilometres southeast of Bonny Island in water
depths ranging from 750 to 850 metres, is scheduled to become operational in
2012, when production will be in the region of 180,000 barrels of oil per day.

Phase two of the Ofon oil field development will allow an increase in oil
output from 25,000 barrels per day to around 100,000 in 2011. The gas produced
from the Ofon field will be piped to the Amenam complex.

The packages for Usan and Ofon are due for delivery to the module fabrication
yards by the fourth quarter of 2009.
